Trend Alert: NEON

I've never been one to dangle my feet in the water to test the tempature, no I'd rather jump in. I guess I feel the same way with fashion. Although my go to color palette will always be black and warm tones, for this season I'm willing to do a 180 and get behind the bright colors and neon hues.

Embrace the trend and work it your own way; add a neon on bag to add color to your look ala MIU MIU, maybe your a 'full on' type of girl and can work complimentry neons head to toe like Christopher Kane. Can't get behind the neon? That's okay, try the Jill Sander-pairing bold colors with a white blouse. Whatever your style, the color wave is all about having fun and making it work for you. I'll get you started with a few of my favorites.

Summer Style

Summer is good for a lot of things; the beach, vacations, working on your tan...it's not so great for FASHION...cut the shit ,you know it's hard to look chic when your running all over Manhattan with sweat running down your face.

I could never style someone in a floral maxi dress or recommend carrying a straw tote in place of your Givenchy. I can however offer this; when the tempeture rises you want to be comfortable and stay cool but just because you shed the layers from fall doesn't mean you have to wear denim cut-offs and flip flops. Instead, might I suggest keeping it simple; an oversized tee a long skirt, layering statement jewelry instead of scarves, and a pop of color will keep you cool, comfortable and in style.
